Find Out Why Stolen Twitter Accounts Are More Valuable Than Credit Cards.

According to a new report by Juniper, the value of hacked Twitter accounts on the black market is greater than stolen credit card data. Twitter accounts have become high-yield on the black market for both the access the account provides to a user’s other accounts, and the increased value of a “real” account to spammers.

In December 2013, retail giants including Target saw data from an estimated 40 million credit cards and 70 million user accounts hijacked. Within days, sensitive customer data, including home addresses and login information — appeared for sale on blackmarket sites. What began as a reported range of $20–$135 per account plummeted to $0.75/record.
